Festivals Carry Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Festivals carry
Sunday,27th October 2019

Days and years may pass like this,
with so many successes and misses!
what have we to learn from festivals
when it takes us by storm on arrival

festivals carry special messages
if this year was not good to manage
Next year brings the hope
we forget about the flop show

"Deepavali" or festival of lights
it brings us the new zeal to feel right
as one thinks that his ordeal is likely to be over
there shall be no more darkest hour

it is time to clean houses
repaint the walls and clean wardrobes
pray to god for peace at the heart
and good beginning from the start

as the house gets full shine
one goes very deep with the divine spirit
greets everybody and sheds the hatred
takes full vow to lead a noble life

Hasmukh Mehta
